Chevrolet Sail Reviews

Amazing car but not well designed
May 21, 2016 08:12 AM 30558 Views (via Android App)

I have purchased this car just 4 months back. car is good but what I didnt like is the doors of the car. with just 5000 kiloneter run doors have started making noise like an old car.


This is really surprising moreover chevrolet has not taken much care of this car in design and overall built quality. No doubt car is really spacious but cabin noise inside the car is very high and really disturbing while driving.


I had complaint this whilenits 1st service but they couldnt make it right. then somebody from service department told me that this problem is there with every sail sedan for noisy doors. Plz chk before buying and take a demo ride and specially check the door noise on demo model.


Hope my review serve your purpose of choosing or not choosing sail sedan


Excellent car. Nobody comes for comparison.
Apr 01, 2016 10:50 PM 35642 Views (via Android App)

Very cheap maintenance, excellent driveability, good pickup, great looks, good in every angle.


Steering is very light, all the important features are covered, fit for indian roads, spares are very cheap and easily available. Good control even in top speeds.


GREAT CAR- WONDERFUL DRIVING EXPERIENCE, LOW COSTS
Mar 10, 2016 11:17 PM 37392 Views

Today is almost one year of owning this wonderful car – SAIL SEDAN 1.2 LS and I just thought what can I do to kind of give a return gift to such a great car…. Hence writing this review which is very rare for me.


So, without much ado, I will straightaway give you the pros and cons:


PROS / GOOD POINTS:




  1. DRIVING PLEASURE / Pick up- the BEST feature of this car is its pick up and mind you I tried many cars before I bought this one. Try all cars but must take a test drive of Sail before you make a decision.




  2. Mileage – GREAT is the word. I had Alto, i20 and Beat in the past. This surpasses it. I am getting 19-21kmpl on highway(drive at 80-90) and 14-18kmpl in city which is just great at the power and pickup. And I am sure if I will drive at 60-80, I will get more but I don’t have the patience.




  3. Service – Very cheap / reasonable just like Maruti. Spares are also not costly(unlike Honda city or i20 etc).




  4. Space – Its just awesome…. Try it yourself…. Space for driver, rear seats and the boot all are good. You can even see for yourself. Another innovative feature is that you can place some small stuff under the rear seats also.




  5. Features – Though not as much as Hyundai but yet plenty, depending upon your model . best feature I like is the bluetooth caller, adjustable steering, side mirrors controls.




  6. VFM(Value For Money) – the best part is that you are getting a vehicle complarable to Honda City / Verna at the price of Amaze/ Dezire(Doesn’t stand anywhere in any comparison withSail) or i20……………. why Chevy is not able to market this great vehicle is to my utter surprise. They are too focused on Cruze it seems…if they would have spent even half of what Honda spent on Amaze, the story could have been different.




  7. Safety – the car is of study built as compared to all others(except Volkswagon and Skoda ones). Though airbags is the feature I miss the most in my car.




  8. 3 years warranty and road side assistance- unmatched facility provided by Chevy.






CONS / Features I Miss The most




  1. The features I miss the most in my car model(though available in higher end model) are:




A. Airbags.


B. Rear wipers.


C. ABS.


D. Steering controls.


E. Cruise control.




  1. Few drawbacks holding the sales of this vehicle:




A. Poor marketing/ advertisements. B.     Lack of features.(Though this should not become a great deciding factor for purchase of a car- but it does matter to few). C.     Resale value – Chevy needs to improve it with some offers. D. Some problems in previous models but none after 2014.so go ahead with confidence. E. Interiors - Leather finish etc(can improve the overall looks).




  1. Overall- I think it was a great decision to go in for this car. Everyone has its own priorities but I think this car ticks all the right boxes and IF NOT BUY THIS IN MY ADVISE…. DON’T MAKE A MISTAKE OF NOT TAKING A TEST DRIVE OF THIS CAR AND THEN MAKING AN INFORMED DECISION RATHER THAN GOING IN FOR SOME UNDER PERFORMING STUPID BUT POPULAR CAR LIKE ….(MANY)… THANKS.

Hi everyone,


This is my first four wheeler, and I can say it is my best decision to buy this car. I bought gray colour as in our family most of cars are gray.


Exterior is best in this segment first when you look at this car it is similar to Chevrolet cruze his big b but interior is not so good and also not so bad.


I think it is value for money car, best thing about this car is, It has more space at back.


Must buy


All is good About this car, except pickup
Nov 04, 2015 06:41 PM 50932 Views

I bought it in the year 2013, Sail petrol-LS ABS and I run around 35 kms. I got it for 7 lakhs onroad price in Andhra Pradesh. while booking under this segment of 1200cc I have seen Dzire and Amaze and I bought Sail, and I am happy with my decision. Sail look, space, boot space, body material is good compared to Swift and Amaze. All three are 1200cc anf falls into same cost here and there


what is good:


Design and Look


Boot Space


Interior is spacious


LS come with one airbag where you will not get air bag in middle variants mostly


Service is good


Strong body


Mileage is 13-15 km in city(in Ac) and 17-18 km in highway in AC


What is bad:


Initial pick up less, as the body of the car is very weight and it comes only with 1200cc. I think it should have been 1300 cc.


So if you have no problem with initial pickup, then you can choose Sail definetly.

Totally fedup with this vehicle. I was new to four wheel and the Jain Car Shoppe which is situated in Tnagar, chennai has convinced me to take this car. Fuel consumption is very high and hardly I am getting 9 to 10 kilometer per litter. The only plus point is enough space. I have taken the vehicle to kerala for sometime and most of the parts are not available there. And there are other common issues also reverse gear is not working properly, sometimes need to put first gear then come back to reverse gear.

Affordable Luxury
Oct 16, 2015 05:35 PM 48125 Views

We bought the Chevy Sail LT(1, 2 Petrol) sedan in 2015 September as an upgrade to our Zen after considering between Amaze, Hyundai Xcent, Etios Cross and Sail. Considering the price, the sail was the largest car in terms of interior space and boot capacity.


Though it was a close tie between the Xcent and the Sail, we closed in on the Sail sedan. Here is the experience so far:




  • Looks: Looks are sujective, but in general its very acceptable. It looks like a proper sedan(as opposed to the likes of the Xcent/Dzire which look very disproportionate. Also, the lines are clean and simple(we disliked the sharp, edgy designs in newer cars like the Verna and i20)




  • Excellent drivability in city conditions, very light clutch and good throttle response. Not exactly an enthusiast's car and may feel underpowered with 4 passengers or with 2 passengers and the A/C turned on. However, the engine remains smooth at highway speeds and engine doesn't feel strained.




  • Handling is average at best. At high speeds, it doesn't feel as stable as a Polo or a DZire, this could be attributed to the extremely lightweight construction. Brakes are sharp but lack the a progressive feel, need some time to get used to, especially if you are upgrading from an older car. Soft suspension is better suited to city roads and absorbs bumps and potholes without much impact. Ground clearance is a little bit on the lower side, I have brushed the underside on couple of speedbreakers, so you'd need to be careful.




  • Comfort is the main selling point for this sedan. The interiors feel like they are taken from a class above. The twin-tone dash and the layout look well-appointed. There is just a hint of chrome, just enough to look tasteful, not too much to look blingy. Front seats are large, spacious and comfortable, provide excellent support. Driver seat height adjustment is unavailable. Rear seats are extremely comfy and spacious for two people, three people can also sit without much adjustment.




  • Negatives: Initially there was a lot of tyre and road noise inside the cabin. An additional layer of insulation on the underside helped eliminate the noise to some extent, but that will be an additional expense. Overall, the interiors are not as silent as, maybe, a Honda City. Secondly, the aircon is unpredictable - sometimes it chills the cabin extremely well, and at other times, it tends to act up.






Mileage: 12 to 17 in city, depending on driving conditions and aircon use.


A great car from a great company !!!!!!!!!
Jul 02, 2015 06:40 AM 50059 Views

This car was launched in category of hatchbacks and being a low price car it is really good for indian markets where there are many cars in the same category.


this car is better than other cars as it has got chevy engine and the company is really good.


car is fuel efficient and has many models plus the design of the xar is good enough.I won'tsay a great design but yeah it gives smart look though.


so if you are thinking this is a good car you are right and do is must to be the must added car for comparison.

Chevrolet Sail UVA OR U-VA OR Hatchback
Jul 01, 2015 12:15 AM 53726 Views

I recently Purchased(April 2015) Chevrolet Sail UVA which is china's Most Selling Car(As we have Swift in india).I hold Super Red car Which attacks Every once's Look with Great design, Spacious and Features for Middle version itself(SAIl UVA LS).


Till now I drove 5000 Km's which I felt a awesome Ride quality with Excellent AC and mileage. SAil uva has Strong Body where no other car has(Cross Structure Design).The only lacking is poor pick up on 2nd gear and poor service.

Great car for low price..
May 03, 2015 10:47 PM 57639 Views (via Mobile)

Chevrolet have made some good cars and their cars are for normal people you can get them in your budget like hatchbacks spark, beat, UAV but if you are looking for a seadan car with same budget then chevrolet sail is the best for you.


The car is great sedan style with a very low budget its start from 5 lakh and gets higj according tp ots varients and models available in both petrol and diesel.the car is well spacious at the back seat 3 people amd easily accomodate with great leg space.


My neighbour have just bought the mid varient of this car thr car have ABS system in it the only thing I dont like about chevrolet is that its music system is not good and powerful.


AC vents are ohk powerful enough to cool the car they give more features as we move up for the models even for the mid varient we dont get all.look wise the var is great with good design and looks.


SAY NO TO SAIL!!!
Apr 25, 2015 12:56 PM 58273 Views

Chevrolet with time has degraded its reputation. Sail too has not been able to deliver its promise. Another flop product launched by Chevrolet. Niether looks nor other things are appealing. This sedan car, Sail was launched at Rs.5.50 - 8.05 lakhs.


: Diesel engine is not all refined


: Poor performance in city as well as in highway


: No comfort while driving


: maintenance is too high


: No power while driving, with interiors also not much attractive


Its just NO for Chevrolet's Sail as it doesn't gives any comfort while driving as well as sitting in it.


My first owned car
Apr 17, 2015 01:02 PM 55116 Views

Recently I have purchased my own car. till now I have been using company's car and hired car.


After lots of research and test drives I finally zeroed on to diesel 1.3 Sail LS ABS. It has a teriffic Pickup with stunning looks. Others can get no where near with respect to value for money and customer satisfaction.


its look differentiate from other regular entry level sedan like dzire, etios, indigo.muscular look, front grill, jumbo bumper feels gr8.


pretty good space compare to class, comfortable seats, however plastic quality is not good. but u feel a large car space, its dickey space is also very large and one unique space is under the rear seat, cup holder with arm rest at rear seat makes feel u as a large sedan.


Diesel engine is not so noisy, with AC no major pick-up issue, which makes very easy to handle traffic.


Ride Quality & Handling


amazing, total control, easy to handle traffic in busy roads, as smooth as cream.


If you wanna to look different n classy definitely go for SAIL


It sails u like anything classy vehicle, distance apart from its near rival

Apr 14, 2015 01:41 PM 53950 Views

I bought this Chevrolet Sail, because it has a look of very costly. I bought it from Venus motors( Bhubaneswar, Odisha), The out side look is one of the best among sedan  Model in between 6-8 lakh.


On the first month I drove around 5, 000 KM, and enjoyed the ride, because of its comfort in seat, A/C, and the speed, also ABS is another great feature of this vehicle.  Also the space for carrying your things is too big. If your budget is with in 7 lakh then I suggest every one to buy this car . As the Gray color and White color gives an executive look to the car.

Rude behavior of chevy showroom executive
Dec 26, 2014 04:20 PM 67360 Views

Today morning I visited CHEVROLET showroom at Orange Auto Pvt Ltd, Banjara Hills HYDERABAD. I was recived by an sales person & he showed SAIl & SAIL HATCHBACK, SAIL was impressive and price is also good, I thought to exchange my vehicle Hyundai Verna Transform CRDI SX(2011) to Chevy SAIL.


I took this decision because SAIL has Deployed most successful FIAT Diesel engine which is also used in Swift Diesel. While going for other options today I visited CHEVY showroom.


I gave my vehicle for valuation in the showroom, initial valuation was done & vehicle was taken for a drive.


After completion of drive, Valuator KARUNAKAR has give me rate on a peace of paper, by seeing that I was bit upset and though to leave showroom, then  said "thank you"  and I took that paper & stepped outside of the showroom, on road and I teared valuation paper and was about to get into my car, Person who did valuation(KARUNAKAR) came to me and started Arguing with me for tearing his valuation paper.


I was little surprised on his behaviour,  he started shouting by Showing  his HAND on my face. Later I took this to CHEVY showroom Manager Pranav, Pranav told that Karunakar body language & his behavior is like that & said he(karunakar) doesnt do any harm, when I started taking with Pranav, he said sorry for the whole thing and forget everything and also suggested to take CHEVY vehicle to serve them better.


Friends, i'm at IT employee, December month has more offers on CARS, I was really upset about Chevy sales people, be prepared before you visit this showroom in below address. Now I don't have any confidence about service in below showroom.

Red beauty Sail uva diesel LS
Nov 24, 2014 02:40 PM 71122 Views

Exterior - Looks Good with smiling face makes you to feel happy!


Interior(Features, Space & Comfort) - Good space tall guys can accommodate without any issue.


Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox - Excellent Engine from GM. Its a GEM cabin very smooth, engine very silent, on high way I feel like car. Running without Engine ON.


Gear box works knife in the butter so smooth, fuel economy I get up to 19Kmpl in traffic with AC. But I use only shell Diesel.


Ride Quality & Handling - Power steering very interesting for handling in heavy traffic area's. It commands the wheel as I wish. We can handle the steering in one finger soo easy to drive.


Final Words - As on today 22.11.14 clocked 23000Km, so far so Good!. I never spent any additional cost for repairing except periodic service as instructed by OEM Manual. I'm the one who bought Sail UVA Diesel first in Chennai due to this it took more than 15 days for registration.


So interesting!


I purchased this red beauty on 28th of Nov'12. People can say different opinion in their reviews but real thing is very positive as per my experience with this car. It serves me very good and i'm very satisfied with this car and my decision. My usage per day would be 60Km.


I'm writing this review as per my experience and opinion. Areas of improvement Service is not up to my expectation, we need to chase them to get the things done always. I always be present with my car even during every service I did.


I can recommend this car. Happy driving with safe.

Happy SAILing
Nov 07, 2014 04:13 PM 85970 Views

Due to my extremely hactic schedule I couldn't write any review for a long time but I would like to tell you all about this wonderful car called Chevrolet Sail Hatchback( formerely known as Sail UVA)


I was planning to upgrade from my alto LX for a few months and while taking a stroll with my wife we saw this beautiful car. My wife noticed it and we couldn't resist second look and I saw the logo of Chevrolet Sail UVA( now hatchback). We liked the car and I started gathering more and more information about it.


I compared this car with almost all cars under the sun. After a lot of research I took some feedback from a few Chivy users( Including harry paji and Khaled bhai) and got positive feedback from everyone. Once I was decided, I called for a test drive and it turn out to be a difficult thing as the petrol model was not available. We saw diesel hatchback and drove petrol sedan for the feel. Finally booked with Singh motors on S. B. Road, Pune and I am very happy with the deal which I was offered. 6.11 L on road with 14k extra( total 6.25L) and they gave me JBL Oval rear speakers, Roof Rail, Alloy wheels, seat cover, Floor mat, mud flap, Mobile charger, perfume and Ganpati idol.


Chrome finished Headlamps and Fog Lamps look good. Its Jewel-Effect’ Tail Lamps are good looking and attractive. Chrome Highlighted Interior are stylish and Leather wrapped Steering wheel add to luxury. Except chrome finished fog lamps, outer view of car is same as the outgoing model UVA but black & beige interiors with much better plastic make it look premium.


Finally we got the delivery on 30th Oct 2014 and I am sailing happily.


Look, Style & Build quality:


This looks a real big hatchback as compared to its competition. This looks like a mini SUV. Nice styling and shape make it look premium and it stands out in traffic. Interiors are black & beige, very specious, nice music system with driver air bag and all power windows. Overall great in terms of exteriors and interiors however looks best with roof rail and rear spoiler and alloy wheels. Build quality too is good.


Handling & Comfort:


Its extremely comfortable and specious. lots of legroom for both rows and headroom. Double din music system with up to 5 mobile pairings. AC is powerful with chrome finish. Smooth Power steering, All power windows, driver airbag, ABS, EBD & nice seats and electronically adjustable ORVM. with rear seat fully folded, a person with medium height can even sleep inside. Boot space and under sear seat storage is more than sufficient. Overall comfortable.


Pickup:


Pick up is good however lacks power to overtake on 3rd gear. Second gear too can be a little more powerful but does its job pretty well. Clutch length can be shortened and few people say that it can be done at service station.


Power & Mileage:


Its has 1.2 L SMARTECH Petrol Engine with 83.6 PS of power and 108.5 Nm of torque giving a milage of 18.2 KMPL(ARAI certified).


I am yet to check it as I drove just 350 kms and it gave approx 10-12 roughly. Showroom Person called Mr. Sunil was very helpful during entire deal and he assured that once its through with second service you can expect optimum milage( 16 - 17 in city, 18-20 on highways)


Safety and Best Features:


Safety features such as Safe Cage structure, Airbag, ABS, EBD make it a really safe car. side impact beams add extra safety along with crash senor. Looks, Smooth steering and lot of space. Rest all are parity features offered by almost all players.


Needs to improve:


Multi functional Steering required. Rear AC vents can be added and rear design can be more attractive as this ends rather abruptly. I20 asta has best rear design in this segment.


Overall Experience & Verdict:


I highly recommend this car as for the same features and comforts you will have to shell out minimum 6.75 to 7L. A head turner for sure. My white beauty with roof rails and alloy wheels look stunning. 3 year warranty is something which adds another reason to consider.


Its a true value for money car with a lots fo style. Go for it.


I will update the review time to time and share my experience with servicing, milage etc.

Beautiful Car, Under powered and low on mileage
Oct 04, 2014 08:42 PM 82599 Views (via Mobile)

I have had Fiat, a Maruti 800 and an Esteem before. My sail sedan ls is now over a year old. Its a white beauty. The air-conditioning works perfectly and everything is fine, except, these two Major issues. No mileage. Its about 9.50 in city(across five petrol pumps where I have topped up.


And I maintain a log) the other issue is that it is one of the most underpowered car I have ever driven. Sometimes, I feel pity for the car itself! Such a beautiful machine and so low on mojo!:)


The kun service is a major blessing.

Sail UVA diesel 20000 review
Jun 29, 2014 10:14 PM 93370 Views

I clocked 20000 kilometers in this gud vehicle in an year, a good vehicle to own especially for its price. I was doubtful about its mileage before I bought it, but it gives me 16.5 to 22.0 depending  on the conditions. Company claims of 22.1 for the diesel one which I am owning.


Most of the users says there mileage is under 17 for diesel version.Mileage increases after 15000kms service.Now I am consistenly getting above 20 kmpl.


No issues at all. The mudflap is of poor quality and I have to replace it. Another issue I faced is due to the light color of door plastic, dirt used to accumulate there  frequently anyway a gud exercise with it:)


The placement of side windows adjustment keys between the front seat now seems to be very practical and useful compared on other vehicles.


Never felt it lacked power or comfort. Lot of small and good spaces to store anything. Doubted its parts but dealer said the same parts are used in enjoy and sail. It is highly spacious compared to the other vehicles in the segment.


Plastic quality can be improved, especially on the door side. Its turning radius is higher and also(especially for diesel) the ground clearance is lower. Door can only be closed with some good pressure( may be due to good beeding or other factors!). It's looks can be changed by alloy wheels, spoilers, roof rails and side beeding.


A good vehicle to purchase, for its space and price.
